Site Council Community Member Opening
The Site Council is an advisory council to school leadership regarding policy, school goals, educational enrichment plans and more. We meet once a month on Tuesdays from 2:30pm-3:30pm or so. We are meeting virtually at this time. If you might be interested in this appointment for the remainder of the year, please contact Lydia Crain at 879-1718 or crainl@vailschooldistrict.org.
Tax Credits
Please enjoy a little sample of art from our Middle School students. Vince Sebastian has our middle school school students digging into their creative forces and producing some truly wonderful work!
We are currently looking for a new art teacher on our Lower School campus. This is a part-time position and the position is posted on the District's website. If you know of someone who may be interested, please ask them to give Lydia a call at 879-1718 or email crainl@vailschooldistrict.org.
At Civano, we use tax credits to fund our art and music/drama classes. As the year comes to an end, please take advantage of public school tax credits. If you owe taxes to the state of Arizona, your contribution will offset what you owe dollar-for-dollar. If you give more than what you owe, you’ll get the extra back as a tax refund. It’s really an amazing opportunity! While none of us enjoy paying taxes, with tax credits you can know that at least some of your tax dollars go directly to benefit young people in our school!
Contribute online https://vailtaxcredits.org or via check in the school office.
Giving online? Please select “Greatest Need” at the bottom of the page and when directed to choose a school, select “Civano Community School”.
Public school tax credit gifts for the 2020 tax year may be made right up to April 15, 2021.
Couples filing jointly may take a credit of up to $400 and individuals up to $200.
